Day 1 – Coimbatore to Valparai via Aliyar & Monkey Falls

8:30 AM: Your driver meets you at your Coimbatore hotel or the airport.

Evening: Dinner at your stay, or try a local “tea kadai” for authentic flavours. Overnight in Valparai.

Local tip: Keep your camera ready – you might spot Nilgiri langurs or even a great hornbill near the viewpoint.

Day 2 – Tea Factory, Sholayar Dam & Return

7:30 AM: Early breakfast. 8:30 AM: Visit a working tea factory – watch the leaves wither, roll, and dry, and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed CTC tea. 10:00 AM: Drive to the serene Sholayar Dam, one of the largest dams in the region, nestled deep in the forest. Keep an eye out for elephants, gaur, and sambar deer along the way (best sightings early morning). 12:30 PM: Lunch at a local restaurant (try the Kerala‑style fish curry if available). 2:00 PM: Begin the descent back to Coimbatore. 5:00 PM: Drop at Coimbatore airport/railway station.
